Not a good look; especially if the White House is trying to frame a “competent Biden” narrative. CNN’s Victor Blackwell speaks with radio host of “The Source,” Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who confirms the White House sent her the questions to approve ahead of her interview with President Joe Biden.

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them.
Last weekend James Clyburn visited 10 key ballot counting precincts in Wisconsin {link}. On Friday George Stephanopoulos interviewed Joe Biden from Wisconsin {link}. Today, the media is full of the story about how the Wisconsin Supreme Court has reversed its own prior ruling and will now expand the use of ballot collection boxes.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that officials can place ballot drop boxes around their communities in this fall’s elections, overturning its own ruling two years ago limiting their use in the presidential swing state.
The court limited the use of drop boxes in July 2022, ruling then that they could be placed only in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person.
Conservatives controlled the court at that time, but Janet Protasiewicz’s election victory in April 2023 flipped the court to liberal control. Seeing an opening, Priorities USA, a progressive voter mobilization group, asked the court in February to revisit the decision.
At least 29 other states allow for absentee ballot drop boxes, according to the U.S. Vote Foundation, and expanded use in Wisconsin could have major implications in the presidential race.
Wisconsin again figures to be a crucial swing state after President Joe Biden barely won it in 2020 and Donald Trump narrowly took it in 2016. Democrats believe that making it easier to vote absentee will boost turnout for their side. (more)
In 2017 California hired former Attorney General Eric Holder to oversee the Secretary of State office creating a new voter registration link to the Dept of Motor Vehicles.
CALIFORNIA – […] Five California counties—Madera, Napa, Nevada, Sacramento, and San Mateo—implemented a new model of conducting elections for the first time in 2018. In these counties, every registered voter was mailed a ballot, and voters had the option of returning their ballot by mail, at a ballot drop box, or any vote center open in their county.
All five counties exceeded the statewide turnout rate of 64.5%. All five counties saw voter turnout that was higher than the county average during statewide gubernatorial general elections during the previous 20 years. (FULL DATA)

COMMENT: Marty, I am really impressed how Socrates even had a Double Directional Change in the British pound for election day. What it shows for the US elections seems to be a critical turning point. This is the most interesting system ever created.
All the best
JK
REPLY: There is no question that the sweeping political upset in the EU and now in Britain is a prelude to the 2024 US election. This is getting to the point that the real trend is just to throw whoever is in power out. Here, the Conservatives have lost a string of senior core MPs who have been in power in the Tory Party. This has been a historic wipeout and justly deserved. Eight Cabinet ministers have now lost their seats in the general election, beating the previous record of seven Cabinet ministerial defeats in 1997. However, when we look closely at Labour’s victory, we see it was not resounding by far. Labour’s win was not as spectacular as the headlines appear. The vote breakdown made clear that the election was really a rejection and anger towards the Conservatives rather than embracing the policies offered by Labour. That is why you saw Labour simply calling for “change” rather than a specific promise.
Diving deeper, we see that Keir Starmer’s Labour Party only increased its vote share by a few percentage points from its dismal 2019 performance. From this perspective, it was not a landslide. Even though it may end up with almost twice as many seats, there are cracks in the foundation of Labour’s platform. Starmer won a smaller vote share than his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, did in 2017, an election that Labour had previously lost, illustrating that this was not the landslide the LEFT seeks to create. Indeed, Labour was aided by Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, which won seat after seat against the Conservatives. This illustrated that the frustration in Britain was far more serious than most wanted to admit. The Conservatives have done nothing but try to trash Nigel at every chance they get.
They created a viral campaign against Nigel, clipping a comment he made saying: “I was asked the other day what I was going to do for the Black community? Do you know what I said? ‘Nothing, absolutely nothing. I couldn’t give a damn…’” They did everything to slander Nigel and to misrepresent what he said to the people. The full quote was:
“I was asked the other day what I was going to do for the Black community? Do you know what I said?
“‘Nothing, absolutely nothing.’ I couldn’t give a damn whether you’re black or white, you’re gay or straight. I really don’t care. You’ll be judged by your character, you’ll be judged by your ability, you’ll be judged by are you a contributor to society or a taker out…”
The problem is that this was not so much a vote for LEFTIST policies as it was to just throw the bums out. Starmer will have to govern with a powerful majority in parliament, but the public coalition he has built will not afford him a long honeymoon period. He will be opposed by both the Conservatives and Farge’s Reform. Starmer’s predecessor Corbyn, who had been expelled by the party, actually won an independent seat in Islington North and will become the face of that opposition from the far-left.
Starmer has never enjoyed even remotely the approval ratings that Blair and Boris Johnson had. He lacks the natural charisma of important world leaders. Starmer has promised “a decade of national renewal,” but this will only further undermine Britain’s finances. The computer is showing that unemployment is going to rise, and this aligns with the Economic Confidence Model, which points to a recession into 2028. The problem with Labour, like the Democrats, is that they are never interested in reforming spending; they always insist on taxing the upper class to redistribute to others to keep their power.
As Democratic President, Grover Cleveland was a rare politician who called upon his own party to wake up. The hated “rich” can move their capital and refuse to invest. The working class cannot hoard their labor. This is why the LEFT never learns from the past because they refuse to surrender Marxist theory that has failed every time. This is the decline and fall of the West – it is just our turn since the world fell apart in 1992. After all, it is 31.4 years later here in 2024. Our computer models for Britain showed that 2024 would be a Double Yearly Directional Change. No worries, there are no British politicians willing to even listen to what our model is saying despite the fact that it has never been wrong on politics and geopolitical changes in trend.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is the center of the silo network that supports the Intelligence Community control over U.S. political outcomes. SSCI Chairman Mark Warner has been the leading organizer of the IC efforts to interfere in USA politics since 2015.
Senator Mark Warner was selected by the DC system to represent the IC interests when Donald J Trump became the leading candidate for the 2016 election. Warner was quickly installed to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein on the SSCI immediately following the 2016 election outcome.
From his position within the IC silo, Warner led the legislative effort to frame Trump for the Russia Collusion hoax. His efforts to support the IC have been fully immersed thereafter and continue through today. The IC is concerned that Biden now represents a risk to their system of control.
As a direct result, Warner is now activated to lead the consultation conversation about how to mitigate damage and proactively protect the IC interests.
WASHINGTON DC – WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Mark Warner on Tuesday was contacting some fellow Democratic senators to invite them to a possible meeting on Monday to discuss President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, a source familiar told Reuters.
The source did not elaborate or say whether Warner was trying to organize a group of senators to pressure Biden to quit the race.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that Warner was trying to put together a group of Democratic senators who would ask Biden to end his presidential campaign. (READ MORE)
With every day that passes, we are edging closer and closer to 2032, where our Computer is forecasting the collapse of our present form of Republican government, and the light at the end of the tunnel is that we get to hold another Constitutional Convention. This time, we get to correct all the mistakes of our Founding Fathers. ONE major reform must be TERM LIMITS, but another should be abolishing POLITICAL PARTIES. You may think you are voting for whatever that person promises. They then go to Washington and are told, that was great; now, here is what you will vote for. The policies are set behind closed doors, and if you look at the voting, you will notice that it typically goes down party lines. That alone proves that the form of government we live in is just so corrupt that it is not worth saving.
Here is a classic example. The Democrats passed a 25th Amendment motion to get rid of Trump when he was certainly not mentally impaired. They have hated his agenda and have impeached him twice, and now are criminally charging him for anything they can conjure up. This is the disgusting evil of policies, and this is the very cancer that demonstrates our present form of government will NEVER survive. Now, the Republicans have sought to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment against Trump when the majority of people recognize he is not fit to be president.
The fact that no Democrats would dare to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden demonstrates that the Constitution, the rule of law, and the safety of our nation are NEVER considered when it would impact their party for the election. Here we have HR 1336 Resolution to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden. Every Democrat that refuses to endorse this is showing you that they will NEVER defend the country or honor what they promise because they vote only as told by their Party against the people they are supposed to represent.
Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
H. RES. 1336
Calling on Vice President Kamala D. Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
June 28, 2024

Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.
Whereas President Joseph R. Biden has repeatedly and publicly demonstrated his inability to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency, including, among others, the powers and duties of the Commander-in-Chief: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives calls upon Vice President Kamala D. Harris—
(1) to immediately use her powers under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments in the Cabinet to declare that President Joseph R. Biden is unable to discharge the duties and powers of the office; and
(2) to transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives notice that she will be immediately assuming the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Back in 2008, I named a report after what Margaret Thatcher had told me about politics. I began that report by writing:
Time is but a dimension that we divide up to mark its passing. Western thought, unfortunately, is linear, not dynamic. This has been the curse of Western understanding and knowledge. Time is but a cycle – a circle. Asians are raised with the idea of cycles leading to a more dynamic thinking process. Some see and feel cycles, and some see it as necessary and instinctively understand them. Lady Margaret Thatcher once commented to me that the Conservatives would lose the elections in Great Britain when John Major was running, she said – “It’s just time.”
Lady Thatcher came and spoke at our conference on cycles. She said.
Today’s British election is underway, and we will see a sweep where Labour will replace Conservatives, who have acknowledged that Labour appears headed for victory and urged voters not to hand the party a “supermajority.” Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insisted “the outcome of this election is not a foregone conclusion.” However, in a message to voters on Wednesday, Sunak said that “if the polls are to be believed, the country could wake up tomorrow to a Labour supermajority ready to wield their unchecked power.”He urged voters to back the Conservatives to limit Labour’s power. The Conservatives have been more concerned about appeasing Anthony Blinken and the American quest to conquer Russia. To hell with the economy or the people. Britain was fully on board with the Globalists, which was precisely OPPOSITE of all the positions to retain independence from Europe, which were the core policies of Lady Thatcher.
I have done some interviews in Britain where the host reluctantly put me on the air because of my connection with Lady Thatcher and their obstinacy about even trying to understand her policies. Many regard her as the most hated Prime Minister, all because they were used to handouts. They claim that she destroyed Britain’s manufacturing industry, and her policies led to mass unemployment. That was absurd, for the world was engulfed in the crisis at the time – not just Britain.
I advised companies that wanted to get into the EU and needed skilled labor to place them in Britain, while I placed those that needed the best tax deals, like airlines, in Ireland. Thatcher had heard that there was this guy rearranging companies and wanted to meet me. She asked me why I placed industries in Britain compared to other European countries. I explained that the cost per employee in other regulations was 40% less in Britain compared to Germany at the time.
Others argued that she presided over 15% interest rates. Again, that was not unique to Britain; it was a global trend. Most of the complaints about Thatcher were based on their ignorance of global trends. No single country can reverse a worldwide recession, no matter who the politician might be. The very best you can do is minimize the volatility and depth of the decline.
I did feel the public would never understand her reasoning regarding the poll tax. She felt that if people had skin in the game, this would limit government waste. But the people, I said, are like dogs. They are satisfied with the scraps from your table, not about jumping on your table and eating the whole meal. Others complain that she sowed the seeds of NHS Privatisation. I think Russia proved, as did ancient Byzantium, that the government is INCAPABLE of running anything efficiently. Those who hated Thatcher seemed to want to be taken care of and had no interest in their country.
What the self-centered haters of Thatcher refuse to understand, no less acknowledge, is that she SAVED Britain. I remember she said if she walked across the Thames River, they would say it was because she did not know how to swim. The coup staged against her by John Major and others was to take Britain into the fantasy land of the Euro. Major took Britain into the ERM and overvalued the pound, which led Soros to make his fortune thanks to John Major and others.
She knew that Tony Blair would win long before there were polls. When I asked why, she told me, “It’s Just Time.” She understood cycles better than any Western politician I have ever met. So while the ignorant still hate Margaret Thatcher, they will now get to see what voting for self-interest will do with promises of more money.
The one thing I have learned from our computer is that if you turn the economy around with these Economic Confidence Model turning points, you will get political change. What is sweeping the world is that 60% of it is going to an election, and WHOEVER is in power is just being thrown out. The Globalists have been trying to take over everything, creating their dream of a one-world government headed by the United Nations with the elimination of our right to vote on anything. Their dream is a global dictatorship. Democracy must end as part of their agenda. It is refreshing to see Macron in trouble, as is Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. World leaders like Trudeau in Canada, Biden in the USA, and Ursula in the EU have a common goal – war against Russia at all costs and the creation of this one-world government bringing Democracy to an end. The people are responding regardless if they call themselves conservative, liberal, labour, or communist. Whoever is in power is taking the brunt of this global political shift.

The first presidential debate of the year was a humiliating moment for our nation. Does one even need to bother discussing the questions mentioned when the public was in utter shock at the current president’s physical and mental state?
Joe Biden was sent to the podium as the sacrificial lamb of the DNC. His handlers knew his condition, and no amount of preparation, layup questions, or alterations from the liberal media could have improved his performance. Even Donald Trump seemed concerned that Joe Biden would keel over at any moment. There is a reason the Democrats agreed to this debate — they are setting up the stage for a candidate swap.
Biden was struggling to speak coherently and mumbled through most of his answers. As directed, he began EVERY answer by saying his candidate was a liar and anything Trump said was malarky. The world now knows that the emperor has no clothes. Public officials have long known Biden’s condition as we see a preview of it in the media, with Biden wandering on stage or struggling to communicate with other world leaders. The lie that Joe Biden is of good health has been exposed.
The lamb has been sacrificed. The media would be cherry-picking words to praise Joe Biden, but they are in panic mode. Every channel is discussing Biden’s health, with some saying he simply had a cold. If a military member, pilot, doctor, or anyone in a position of power had a cold, would you expect them to act robotically and lifelessly? This man has arguably the most powerful job in the world, and tens of thousands of people believe it is OK for someone in his condition to have the nuclear codes. That 8% approval rating likely went down to next to nothing.
Trump strategically kept a cool head during the debate. He has long been accused of bullying Uncle Joe, as the media likes to call him, but Biden’s current state is too pathetic to mock. Every media consultant and journalist, even those on the furthest end of the spectrum, is taking to the airways today to say that there is still time before the convention to swap in another candidate.
Joe Biden is physically and mentally unfit to run the country – period. No one wants a Harris presidency. The Democrats will swap out Joe for someone whom the public is already familiar with and knows. They began the debate by discussing their favorite topic to sway one-issue voters of abortion. A female candidate with experience who the public already knows will be there solution. Hillary Clinton will have her day once again to face off against Donald Trump. She is practically the face of the establishment. People may not find Clinton relatable but those who dislike Trump will vote for her.
Trump skirted around the question of whether he would accept the election results before saying he would only accept the results if the election were fair. What measures are in place to ensure that the next election is fair? The host did not bother to ask Biden whether the Democrats would accept the results of the election, as they have been able to cry “interference” without rebuke. Neither side is going to accept the results this November. Socrates indicates a Trump win if all is fairly counted. I do not see how the establishment could permit that to occur.

Notably missing from the story about governors visiting Joe Biden at the White House, was any mention of Gavin Newsom. Seems odd.
According to Politico, Biden affirmed to the visiting governors and those on video conference, that he was medically checked by doctors recently and cleared. Biden has no intention to withdraw from the 2024 presidential contest and the governors seemed to rally behind him.
As noted in the reporting, “after the meeting, Govs. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Wes Moore of Maryland and Kathy Hochul of New York told reporters they were sticking with Biden. Hochul said “all” of the governors “pledged our support to him because the stakes could not be higher.” Fox News carried video of the press conference following the meeting. WATCH:
.
As the debate over Joe Biden’s mental state gets a more comprehensive review, people are starting to ask the obvious questions. Like, if Biden is not fit to be hold office in January, then how is he fit to hold office now?
If you start to go down that path of questioning, it can get very problematic for the media who have supported the Biden ruse. After all, it wasn’t that long ago when they were trying to explain away why a sound stage and performance set was constructed for Joe Biden. Why was a stage created that Joe Biden used for multiple years and multiple speeches?
If Biden’s mental acuity is really in question, then who is truly running the office of the presidency? These are the types of questions that can become problematic for both the White House and the media, and likely one of the main reasons why the more cunning professional democrats are telling the underlings to stop talking about replacing him.
